The Committee

"What time does it start?" I ask the manager. He stifles a giggle and says, "Eight you plonker, didn't you read the e-mail?"

In all honesty I didn't read the entire e-mail. I got to the part where it said there was an agenda attached so I printed that off and put it away to be perused later, thinking that an agenda would have a start time on it. When I finally got round to reading it and the associated minutes from the previous meeting I made a mental note to bring this up during Any Other Business. The point never got raised because for the first time since I joined the club we had a fairly well structured meeting with a number of less insignificant matters to address. There was real feeling about the important issues and fortunately those that attended are probably some of the most committed members. Each matter was addressed at length but the atmosphere was kept light and we had a laugh together as we put the club and the world to rights. The time flew by and we all departed.

"See you on Thursday Casp", "Yeah" I replied "See you later."
